Delicious Indian food, masala dosa & chole kulcha was outstanding. Went with kids and it was great experience.

They have dining & take away option. Very well located in downtown. The server was great and shared his travel stories too. Very friendly

If you're in LA and craving Indian food, this spot is a must-try. The menu is packed with flavorful dishes, from rich curries to fresh naan, with plenty of veggie and vegan options. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming—definitely worth the visit!
June 2025
We were visiting the Los Angeles Downtown and stopped by for the lunch. It was very quiet and no customers at all.
This is not a fine dining or romantic place but like a Picadelly counter order and pick up the food at the counter.
The service was horrible and not a friendly.
I am Indian and plus cook my food for 50 years. So, I know my food. The food was not freshly cooked except Bhatura. All other curries maybe week or more old and frozen.
Not...
